Hall & Oates / Private Eyes (1981)

private eyes...they're watching you....they see your....evvvve...ryyyy....move

Takes me back to the fall of 1981.This song was HUGE and then they followed it up with another massive hit "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do") which even reached Number One on the R&B charts.

Love it! One of my favorite H&O songs.

It's H&O week on the orgggg! Move over Philip Baley and Phil Collins!

Last year I went to their concert, and I was so hellbent on hearing Private Eyes, that I was not going to leave the venue until they performed it. Twenty something songs later, two encores, and seriously straining my voice from screaming I got my wish. And I was clapping fool just like in the video.

Too bad they dont make videos like this anymore. I love how early 80s videos were so simple and understated and how they lacked today's computer CGI special effects, sex overkill and overly choreographed numbers And Private Eyes is one of my all time favorite songs

Great song. "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" is my favorite though.

I love those changes.

I listened to that one and "Private Eyes" on my drive to work this morning. I was singin/jammin.

"Private Eyes" is on my November iTunes playlist.

Speaking of ICGFT(NCD) There is a really awesome mash-up/blend of that track with Simply Red's "Sunrise" that someone [bedroom?] DJ made a few years back. I need to get that track again.
